r/ServerBlight

I'm just so glad she finally got her time to shine, even though it was so heartbreaking to watch

Ok put the pitchforks down, let me explain

Call me Sadistic but I just don't feel bad for her

"B-But she watched her friend die!!!"

So did Dicks and MANY other characters

"She's depressed!!!"

So is Dicks probably and THE OTHER CHARACTERS WHO SURVIVED THE SERVERBLIGHT

"But she saved them in manipulation!!"

So?

"B-But she's probably watched others die-"

SO DID DICKS AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO SURVIVED

I seriously don't get how people feel so OVERWHELMING sad about her when I just don't...

In the episode she's introduced at the end, she literally tells Dicks to fuck off RIGHT AFTER HE SAVED HER, yes, she changes but I still don't feel bad, Directionz, yes, but her? I'm sorry, NO.

Thanks for reading this, bye!!!

When Fear released, I found it weird that the Serverblight was playing smart and slowly searching around- as you could tell from its footsteps when it was above Bread and directionz. If this detail was overlooked, I decided to share my thoughts on it and what the creators were going for with the SB here, what it did on thunder mountain during its first invasion.

What does the Serverblight do, after Aaron joins? You hear this meaty and lumbering bastard, suddenly starts spamming the help voicelines, rapidly. The paces of its footsteps quickening, this wasn't about playing around anymore, it was trying to find the other players it encountered first and assimilate them, swiftly as possible, so it could stalk and scare the newest prey that came in. The Serverblight had the affordability, since it knew they couldn't leave (at least not yet), it had time and patience to take it all in and let its prey have fear itself seeping into them.

Then someone new shows up, upsets the predatory balance for the Blight. Then it got serious and had to act. Which led to Bread and directionz getting found, incidentally. Ironically enough, both counts, if true, dicksalot joining the game led to Breadolphin being the reason that he escaped, fittingly enough, also in turn, teaching him how to escape the server too. The other, consequentially, directionz running for it, the SB's aggression picking up after finding them, then Aaron taking the shot on her- moments after Bread escaped and stood still to get shot, leading to her assimilation, so she got double whammied by the protagonist.

In the Empty Server episode, it could've made itself known to Aaron when he first arrived. Maybe stayed quiet, patient and it wouldn't have risked scaring both directionz and Bread off. It could've easily treated him the same like the other players it feasted on first. Nope, it really shows the priorities this creature gets when it decides someone else more unaware is the best person to inflict as much fear into as possible, unlike the ones who were aware of it and hiding, not counting the unfortunate other members who were already assimilated and didn't have as much time to know what was happening until it was too late.

What could be better than a new innocent player who doesn't know of the danger he is in? The Serverblight had that moment of innocence to rob when it ambushed the red team, assimilating half of them, catching them off-guard. Now gold was struck with one little nugget that was more invaluable, ripe for the taking. The distinction between who would be more terrified is very clear and we know this beast thrives off of that.
